DuBois slowed the Bradford boys soccer team’s offense in the first half, but couldn’t keep the Owls off the board in the second stanza, as eight second-half goals powered Bradford to a 9-1 win over the Beavers.
Jake Franz got Bradford on the board early, scoring on an assist from Lucas Johnson. Franz’s second goal, assisted by Andrew Kane, not only proved to be decisive, but opened up a 20-minute period in which Bradford scored seven goals.
Kane scored three minutes after Franz’s second, assisted by Mitch Strauss, while Strauss got on the board two minutes later on a goal assisted by Cameron Austin. Austin would then score two goals of his own over the next five minutes, each assisted by Kane.
Andy Mangold tallied a goal in the 57th minute, assisted by Ward Kennedy, while Kennedy scored three minutes later on an assist by Drage Waterman. After handing out three assists, Kane scored his second goal of the game on a Strauss assist just before the end of regulation.
Tristan Dragoone made four saves in goal for Bradford.
The Owls junior varsity also defeated DuBois, 3-0.
